The album debuted and peaked at number two on the US Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. A year after its release, the recording peaked at number one on the Latin Pop Albums list, giving Selena her first number one album in four years. Lo Mejor de...Selena debuted and peaked at number 102 on the US Billboard 200 chart, her highest-charting album since 1999's All My Hits: Todos Mis Éxitos. The recording earned the singer the Top Latin Albums Artist of the Year, Female at the 2016 Billboard Latin Music Awards. The album has been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) double platinum, denoting 120,000 album-equivalent units.
